From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 278 Farewell before going to Qingqiu

Yatou Mountain.

On this day, Yu Shuyang took his two boys Wanjia and Qifeng, and his nephew Huang Bashan to Yujia Noodle House in Chaoju City.

He waited for three full days at Yatou Mountain, waiting for the Candlelight Spirit Wanjia to refine the magic weapon - the Thunder and Fire Lamp.

This thunder and fire lamp is a handheld lamp made of peach wood struck by lightning. The lamp is very delicately crafted and consists of three parts: the lamp stand, the lamp and the wick.

The base of the lampstand is a three-tiered round platform, connected to a two-fist-sized round column, on top of which is a lotus lamp, with a six-thorned poisonous staff as the wick.

The six-thorn poisonous staff with claws is not only a magical weapon, but also a human treasure. It was seized from the monster Cangtou and was spotted by the Wan family at first sight. They wanted to refine it into the core of the thunder and fire lamp.

A few days ago, the Wan family saw the Xinzhao poison staff and felt it was suitable at first sight. Xinzhao means the pain caused by the poison in people's hearts, and it is inextricably linked to the Tianli plague.

In order to refine the wick, Wan Jia, Qi Feng and Cao Qing, the three monsters, stayed in the fire cave for three days, fanning and making fire, before they burned the poison stick clean and removed all the impurities.

The Wan family originally loved candlesticks and became spirits. Now that they had achieved success in their cultivation, the first magical instrument they refined was actually a lamp.

Speaking of which, it is also related to the original form of the Wan family. He has a rat head, a quail body, and a pig tail. This pig-tailed bird also has a heel that represents plague.

The appearance of the tiptoe is an owl, a pig's tail, and one foot.

After the Wan family gathered the four spiritual images of quail and phoenix, the quail began to grow, especially the pair of quail legs, which began to grow like Bifang.

As luck would have it, Bifang also has one leg, but its appearance is like a crane. When it stands, it stands on one leg with the other leg curled up in its feathers.

When Fu Yangzi first saw Wan Jia, he felt very strange. Later, he was surprised to find that Wan Jia actually had the potential to become a plague-level disaster beast.

This plague beast controls the laws of Tianli, but Wanjia is the incarnation of a candlelight spirit, and his demon body only looks similar. He has to find a way to sense the rhythm of Tianli's laws.

Therefore, Fu Yangzi designed a thunder and fire lamp for him, and used peach wood struck by lightning to refine the lamp body. Through the traces of thunder and fire on the peach wood, he could feel the breath of heaven's punishment and thus comprehend the rhythm of heaven's law.

At the same time, it can also be regarded as refining a magical weapon of heavenly punishment. Even if one fails to comprehend the rhythm of the heavenly punishment law, it will not be a waste of effort. Besides, the Wan family is short of magical weapons.

A group of four monsters went down the mountain, followed by Lao Moji who came to see them off. He used the Rat Seal to help open the mountain protection formation.

The mountain protection formation has completely blocked off Yatou Mountain, and the formation changes every hour. Without the guidance of the formation's forbidden talisman key, one has to force one's way in and out of the formation.

Yu Shuyang gave out all four formation control seals, and didn't want to calculate the changes in the formation anymore, so he asked Lao Moji to send them down the mountain.

Nowadays, Yatou Mountain is full of changing formations. There are thunder formations and eight trigrams inside as a maze, and Yuanchen and the four earth elements outside as a killing formation.

The entire Yatou Mountain is like a big furnace, with fire holes running through it all. Li Fire, Quail Fire, Earth Fire, and Yin Fire are all burning continuously. The fire-type spiritual roots and plants below the halfway point of the mountain are growing wildly.

It looked like hemp and fireweed had grown directly into patches. From a distance, it looked like a bright red patch, as if a piece of red brocade was spread on the ground.

The fur of the gray mice and mallards in the grass gradually turned red. I don’t know if it was because they ate too many fire mouse caterpillars or were infected by the fire energy.

As for spiritual roots such as fire mulberry and fire locust, they were also planted by the rat and duck demons, and it looked very planned.

"Uncle Mo, I just took a look and found that you can still plant firethorn and fire vine on the cliff edge and steep slope.

"It doesn't matter how much we harvest to earn in exchange for talismans, as long as we can absorb the escaping fire energy," Yu Shuyang said, pointing to several empty cliffs.

Old Moji nodded and said, "I'll buy some seeds and let them plant them. The little demons from the mouse and duck tribes will be much more obedient."

The goblins of the gray rat and mallard tribes had their ancestors die suddenly, and their blessed lands collapsed. They were all caught by Yu Shuyang as soon as they escaped.

Now that they have been planted with magical weapons and talismans, they are all extremely well-behaved, fearing that if they make the slightest mistake, they will be killed by the entire clan.

In contrast, the group of monsters on the mountain who blocked the road and robbed people refused to be managed. Mo Fang had already killed three of them, and there were still some who acted like troublemakers and challenged them from time to time.

"Don't look at their obedience now, there may be some conspiracy behind the scenes. Those who come from the demon fairy family are different from the wild demons in the mountains.

Fortunately, they are all educated. After all the troublemakers on the mountain are eliminated, they will bring those with ninth-grade cultivation, such as Rat and Duck, to Mofang.

Later on, you can supervise and discipline them. If they are well-trained, let Cao Qing come and take care of this area and see what can be done with it.

We can't just treat it as the homeland for fireflies, gray mice, and mallards. We can't keep them for free, so we have to pay them as if they were renting the land.

Let's see how much we can produce each year, calculate the income from the talisman money, and then divide it into 60:40. As long as there's no trouble, everything will be fine."

As they walked, Yu Shuyang told Uncle Mo that this was how he managed the golden bees, water spiders, moonlight spiders, and sand pigs on Hushan Island.

The purpose of giving birth to blood relatives is also for business development. His way of renting land and sharing profits can also earn money and bring other monster tribes under control.

This is more direct than the method used by Yazhou Demon City. Of course, the two sides have different goals. The five islands of Yazhou are intended to gather the demon and fairy families.

The floating island, the earth veins, and the money for purchasing the earth energy have all been calculated. The purpose is to guide the demons and fairies to gradually merge the floating islands that have opened up the blessed land into the five islands of Yazhou.

The Demon City is nothing more than a means to make money. In order to control the wild demon cultivators, the eight demon fairy families on Yazhou Island casually spread the art of cultivating immortals, making it convenient for them to freely access spiritual materials for cultivation.

Old Moji nodded in agreement. He had been refining the water pool these days, creating cold sun clouds and rain mist to cool down Yatou Mountain and prevent the Fire Spirit Rock from catching fire.

"Silly boy, that ink shop only burns ink and charcoal. Why don't you let me have the gray squirrel and mallard so I can help you grow some water plants."

Yu Shuyang laughed out loud after hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh that Uncle Mo was still thinking about growing aquatic plants at this age.

"Uncle Mo, now all matters on the mountain are handed over to you. You can arrange them however you want, but there is one thing: raise the shrimp soldiers and clam girls as soon as possible.

After my father opens up the blessed land, he will need a lot of manpower, and he needs people to help you share the burden. You can't delay your cultivation."

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but give some words of comfort. Uncle Mo is not only a servant in the Yu family, but also a family member. The Yu family can be assured of entrusting all matters, big or small, to him. He is a perfect steward.

Old Moji chuckled, responded to a few words, and sent Yu Shuyang and his group to the foot of the mountain before turning around and going up the mountain again.

As soon as we got down the mountain, we saw two big spiders running over from the Qianzhang Cliff next door. One was covered with black hairs, and the other was a bright and transparent wind spider.

The black, furry spider spirit is Li Li, who inherited Zhu Sanniang's bloodline and reverted to become a hairy spider. Next to him is his fiancée, Zhu Zisi, whose Zhu family bloodline is the wind spider, skilled at harnessing wind and refining it into silk, a natural weaver.

"Cousin, my brother just replied via flying talisman. He left seclusion early and is on his way back from Sanxian Island. He said he has something to talk to you about."

As he was speaking, a fish-scale flying talisman fell into Yu Shuyang's hand. The general content was the same as what Li Li said. Seeing the content of the flying talisman, Yu Shuyang was very happy.

In this way, the trade route will not be cut off, and my eighth brother-in-law will not be disappointed. This time, I must persuade my eighth sister and brother-in-law to come to the East China Sea. There is no need to waste time in Danhuang Cave Heaven.

Yu Shuyang had never been to Donghai before and didn't know the situation here, so it was naturally difficult for him to persuade his eighth brother-in-law. Now that the Yu family has established a foothold in Donghai, it would be better to persuade them to move here as well.

In this way, the eighth sister and brother-in-law will not have to continue to suffer outside the yellow sand land, and the fish mother and father can also feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang suddenly remembered that Yu Mu had mentioned last time that his second brother-in-law and his family were coming to Donghai and would come over as soon as the family division was completed.

"When he comes back, ask him to look for me at Chaoju City Noodle House. He came by chance. I will leave for Qingqiu Island one day later.

"What's going on with you two? Don't you usually wear fish-skin clothes?" Yu Shuyang looked at Li Li and his wife and asked with a smile.

Zhu Zisi realized it belatedly after hearing this and hid behind Li Li, as if she was shy. Li Li, on the contrary, didn't take it seriously. After wearing this fish-skin coat for a long time, it was like she was not wearing any clothes when she showed her true form again.

"This is the magical skill of spinning silk and weaving webs that our ancestor taught us a few days ago. We have been practicing it on the Thousand Barriers Cliff recently." Li Li explained with a smile.

"Okay then, you two should practice well, I'll go to the noodle shop now." Yu Shuyang bowed and led the two boys away.

As for his nephew Huang Bashan, he felt tired halfway through the climb and turned into a small snake, hanging on the gold collar around Yu Shuyang's neck.

The Bailin Zhanyuan Sword had some golden threads used to bind cicadas, and the yellow snake had turned into the size of an earthworm. If you didn't get close, you couldn't see him.

Yu Shuyang left, leaving only Li Li and Zhu Zisi. Zhu Zisi asked, "Why didn't you explain to your cousin just now?"

She was talking about the last time when they saw Yu Shuyang off, and because they didn't speak clearly, they were misunderstood as planning to trade.

"Now that my brother has come out of confinement, saying this again seems like a premeditated conspiracy. It's better to wait until I see my brother and explain it to him directly.

Besides, this is just a misunderstanding. My cousin didn’t say anything else, so don’t take it to heart.

What I am worried about now is my third younger brother. He and father quarrel all day long. I always say that I have no control over the business and I will wait until mother comes out of confinement to deal with it.

This time, my elder brother is back, I am afraid there is no way to hide, alas..." Li Li couldn't stop sighing.

He had been with Zhu Sanniang since he was young and knew his mother's intentions. When she broke through the fifth level and became a demon fairy, she would definitely make peace with his father.

It is unknown whether Wuhui Cave can be given to Li Boler at that time. Now if a large sum of money is extorted from him, it will be used as a betrothal gift to his third brother.

His mother would definitely have a fit in the future, and the situation would be even worse then. Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling sad.

There are three brothers in their family, and their mother favors the eldest brother, Li Zhen, because he has been ill since childhood and cannot leave his room.

My father favors my third brother Li Lang because he is the only one who inherited his father's bloodline and is a pure green wave insect.

Li Li was not complaining about himself. He had been with Zhu Sanniang since he was a child. Compared with his elder brother who could not go out all day, he felt in his heart that he was more favored.

Zhu Sanniang planned a business route for her brother Li Zhen, and naturally also planned the Zhu family for him. In the future, he would help his mother manage the various branches of the Zhu family. This had been said long ago.

"How about we send a flying talisman to big brother, telling him not to return to the cave, but to go directly to Chaoju City?" Zhu Zisi offered some advice.

"Alas, I have already sent a flying talisman to my brother about this matter. Let's see what he chooses. To be honest, if father and third brother knew that my eldest brother had come out of seclusion, they would not stay quiet anymore.

They just hope that their mother can come out of seclusion soon. Now their grandmother can hardly control him. They also know that they can take advantage of their mother's seclusion to take advantage of her.

Li Li couldn't help but complain that he knew from the beginning what his father and third brother were planning, but he really couldn't do anything about it.

Zhu Zisi tried to persuade Li Li a few more times. To be honest, she didn't care about Li's father and Li Lang extorting the money for the talisman. After all, the money came from the business and was destined not to belong to the young couple in the future.

These days, the Haixia Fairy has only been speaking in a tough tone, but her attitude has become softer and softer. She sees that the quarrel between Li Boler and his son is becoming more and more disgusting.

The purpose is to make Li Li disappointed in his father and wait for him to cut off contact with the Li family in the future. In this way, the Zhu family can gain a son-in-law.

All these little calculations were made in private, so Zhu Zisi naturally would not speak well of Li Boler and his son.

After the two spider spirits finished speaking, they climbed back to Qianzhang Cliff to continue spinning silk and weaving webs. Then they turned around and talked about Yu Shuyang.

Walk northeast from Yatou Mountain, cross Wohu Mountain, and walk for another quarter of an hour to reach the moat of Chaoju City.

The last time I was robbed on the highway, I was leaving from the carriage road. Although there was a moat on that road leading out of the city, there was an arch bridge built across the river, so there was no need to find a turtle to carry me across the river.

A group of three monsters were passing by Crouching Tiger Ridge when they saw a chubby little tiger stretching its head to look down from the cliff. Its body was covered with tiger stripes, and its tiger aura could be seen from a long distance away.

Yu Shuyang watched from a distance and couldn't help laughing in his heart. Did they send a newly weaned tiger cub over to watch the mountain?
When the little tiger saw a monster passing by, he kept retracting his big head. He had been patrolling the mountain for seven or eight days, and he had not seen any monster die on the Crouching Tiger Mountain.

He had heard Hei Biao bragging more than once before about a blind monster that flew over Wohu Ridge at high speed and hit its head on the forbidden air barrier in the mountains, falling to the ground and dying.

They can eat monsters that are killed by falling, because they did not kill them and their souls are not in the monster's body, so there will be no sin of killing.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s unlucky or if the monsters passing by have learned from him. No one can fly with the wind, let alone monsters, there isn’t even a single magpie.

Yu Shuyang looked at the curious little tiger and couldn't help but become interested. He asked casually, "You sneaked out, right? Be careful that Madam Tang slaps you from behind."

The little tiger looked back and saw that there was nothing there. The evil tiger roared and said in a low voice: "Humph, if you lie to me again, I will eat you."

Yu Shuyang listened to the tiger's babyish roar and laughed until his stomach hurt. He said, "Go back quickly. There's a black tiger here. Be careful, he might eat you."

The little tiger straightened his chest and said with his neck stiff, "Hei Biao has gone to the desolate sea and will never come back. I'm not afraid of him."

Yu Shuyang shook his head after hearing this and was stunned.
